Alice Mayor is seventeen and has been only in one relationship through out her life. Books. As much she is passionate about getting good grades and setting a great career, a part of her also wants to breakthrough her monotonous life and get to know...
I walked out to the parking lot and saw Jake leaning on his car waiting. Even after all this time my breath stopped at his impeccable beauty. I don't think I'll ever get used to it. He looked at me and motioned to walk faster. I walked as fast as I could while opening my robes. He opened the door of his car and I got in. "So when did you sneak out of the ceremony?" I asked as he got in. "When you were busy talking to your new bestfriend Max Benson" "He is not my bestfriend besides he was telling me about a party at his place tomorrow.." "No you're not going" "Let me complete Jake. He invited both of us and he wants me to make sure you come too" "Oh. Still not going" he smiled sarcastically. I rolled my eyes. It's impossible to make him understand something. Time for plan B. "Please Jake I really want to go. It is the last party with our batch and after that we are never going to see them again. They will all go off to different colleges. Please Jake." I said in the saddest tone possible. My inner conscious smiled as I could see it was working. "Okay we'll see" he said shooting a glare. I Instantly clapped in joy. "You're a very bad actress" he smiled. "Well it worked" I pouted. He kissed my hand sending chills all the way down.
We stopped near the beach. I couldn't control smiling. It had been a while since we came here and I so missed it. Being the gentleman he is he got down first and opened the door for me.
We walked up to the beach. The signboard read closed. Strange. It was evening and maximum people visited it at this time. Jake took my hand and walked past the board. There was a man standing who wished us as we entered the beach. I was too confused to ask. As we entered I was awestruck. The whole beach were lighted beautifully. We walked down the path with lights on both sides. There was no one around. The beach was completely deserted as if today it was just reserved for us like someone booked the beach. Shit. Did he? "Did you just...?" "Yes" he said already knowing my question. I felt as if my heart had stopped. I never thought anyone would do this for me. I didn't know how to show my gratitude. I was numb. Numb with happiness. "You didn't like it?" He asked after I was quiet for a little long. "I love it Jake" it was all I could say. I threw my arms around him and kissed him with all the happiness I felt that time. He was a little surprised at first but then he kissed back even more passionately. His arms around my waist tightened with each kiss. "Wow. You should do that often" he said pulling back. He pulled the chair and I sat down. I couldn't help but admire my surroundings. The lights, the beautifully decorated shamiana, the white roses, view of the sunset, everything was perfect. It was all perfectly planned. "Why did you do all this?" I asked. "Exactly for this expression of yours" he smiled. I knew what he meant. I had been smiling the moment we entered. A waiter came from nowhere and poured wine into our glasses. I raised a toast. "To celebrating graduation" I said. "To celebrating you" he raised his glass. "To celebrating us" I corrected.
"So what will you have for dinner ma'am?" Jake asked as we finished our wine. Good question. I was starving. I was about to say something when the waiter reappeared. He placed only one menu card Infront of me. Smart move as I'm the one who always orders. Jake eats whatever I order. I opened the menu card to check for the cuisine. On the top was written Alice special. I immediately looked at Jake. "It's all about you baby doll" he smirked. And yes it was. The menu card held all my favourite dishes. All the food that I have had with Jake. Even beverages were of my choices. God how much effort did he put in it? "Today let's eat what you want to" I said closing the menu card. "Umm..okay if you're comfortable in eating yourself" he smirked. I blushed hard. I took the menu card back. "Okay..I'm ordering" I said shyly.
Dinner was perfect. As usual Jake ate whatever I ordered. This made me realise that he was not a fussy eater. That's quite an attractive trait. I on the other hand was conscious throughout as his eyes were on me like always, quietly observing my every movement, every breath. Finally the plates were all cleared. I took out the box nervously and placed it Infront of him. "What's this?" He asked. "Your graduation present" "Baby doll you didn't need to. Why did you?" "The same reason you did all this" "This all was for me. Seeing you smile makes me the happiest person. I am very selfish" he winked. "So am I" I winked back. As he unwrapped the box I looked at him nervously trying to decipher his expression. It was a black blazer. I saw it in the mall the other day when I went shopping with mom. The moment I saw it I pictured Jake in it and as always he looked dapper. It was a little above my budget but I got it anyway although it wasn't as expensive as the ones he usually wears. I don't know whether he'll like it or not. "I know it's not as expensive as the ones you wear but..." I started off as he took out the blazer from the box. "Baby doll I love it" he said cutting me in the middle. I smiled and felt relieved because his words were genuine. He actually liked it. "Now my turn?" He said getting up. "For?" "Close your eyes first" "Jake.." "Baby doll please" I closed my eyes reluctantly. I was not good with receiving surprises. I could sense the presence of someone else. Maybe that waiter was back again. I could feel something on my head. "Now open it" Jake whispered. The moment I opened my eyes my hands reached for the thing adorning my head. It was a tiara. "Happy graduation my Queen" he bent down and kissed my cheeks. I took the tiara in my hands. I was amazed. It was so beautiful.

It was a beautifully decorated flower band. Except that the flowers were of diamonds. It screamed money. "Jake I cannot take it" "Why?" "It's very expensive" "Baby doll it doesn't even come close to what I feel for you" "Jake still I cannot.." "Alice please. More than money I have put my love and heart in it" he said placing the tiara back on my head. I didn't resist this time. He would have felt bad. "You like it right?" He asked. "It's the most beautiful thing I have ever seen" I replied. "Me too" he said looking straight at me and I knew he didn't mean the tiara. "So do I get the pleasure to have dance with you your highness?" He asked kneeling. "Always" I smiled.
We danced slowly for quite some time. My head was placed on his chest. I was so lost in my fairytale that I forget that I had to ask about his college plans. What if he had other plans? What if he wanted to go somewhere else? California to his dad? At this point in my life I cannot bear to stay away from him at any cost. If he wants to go to California I would go with him. My dreams, my ambitions are nothing if he isn't a part of it.
"Jake..?" I whispered. "Yes my love?" "Are you going to California?" "No of course not" he said instantly. He didn't even think about it once. "But your world is there Jake" I said trying to hide the sadness in my voice. "I am holding my world right now" he said as his grip around me tightened. I was quiet. I didn't know what to say. What do you reply to something as touching as that? How do you reciprocate to a love like that? "I love you" I whispered. "I love you more" he kissed on the top of my head. He was right. He loved me more. It's not possible for anyone to love the way he does. So yes he will always be the one loving more.
When we reached his apartment it was quite late. I was still wearing my tiara because Jake refused to let me take it off. " A Queen should always wear her crown" is what he said every time I wanted to take it off. It wasn't heavy but it brought unnecessary extra attention to me.
You have Jake Brian's attention and you scared of the world's attention? Weird.
Seems like my inner conscious was completely smitten too. "All hail to the queen" Jake announced as we entered his flat. "Jake it's so embarrassing" I said hiding the blush.. He scooped me into his arms and placed me on the kitchen table. His hands were still around my waist and his lips place soft kisses on my shoulders making its way to my collar bone and then my neck. My body responded as my heart beat grew faster. His lips touched mind and all I could think of was biting them hard. He kissed me vigorously pulling me closer. My hands were buried in his hair. I took in his taste as he explored my mouth with his tongue. Our bodies moved in sync showing how much we wanted each other. His hands squeezed my bare thighs and I moaned under his breath.
We finally pulled away after what felt like ages. "I'm thirsty" I was panting. "I'm hungry" he whispered into my ears. I looked down shyly. He reached to the refrigerator and got me water. I drank it in one breath. He quickly took me into his arms and chuckled as I squealed. He placed me on his bed and placed my tiara on the bedside table. Hie eyes looked at me with si many emotions love, affection, desire, want. I wanted him too. I wanted all if him and I wanted it bad. I pulled him closer on top of me and kissed him hard. His one hand was grilled into mine while his other hand unbuttoned my dress. I smiled know it was going to be a long night.
